Pipeline inventory

  Pipeline inventory is the inventory that is still being transported through your network including, distribution and any intermediate stocking points.  This inventory pipeline is one of the biggest reasons for low inventory accuracy.  As you might have guessed when inventory items are in transit they are normally considered to be the shipper's inventory if the customer has not yet paid for the inventory, but if the customer has paid for the inventory, ownership normally transfers to the customer even if the customer has not obtained custody of their order yet.  This is important to understand because ownership of the in-transit inventory more often than not tells us who's inventory list the order will go on.
